Publications about supporting care leavers

Leaving care can be a period of great change and anxiety for young adults. At SOS Children’s Villages, we aim to mitigate this with continued support, educational opportunities and help finding employment. We have produced several reports on the challenges faced by young people, including our recommendations for how services can be improved to help them achieve independence.

This report offers rare insight into the stark realities for young people leaving care, including the shortcomings in support processes. At the heart of this two-year peer research project are testimonies from over 300 young people leaving care in Albania, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Poland.

This research report explores the challenging employment situation for young people leaving care in five European countries (Austria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary and Norway). It examines the support they receive to enhance their employability, and policy measures that could enhance young people's employability and social inclusion.

This briefing paper discusses the challenges young care leavers face when trying to establish independent lives, such as securing decent employment. Perspectives from young people, care professionals and policymakers are presented.
